MINUTES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
JULY 17, 1992
CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 6:00 p.m., at
City Hall, 21660 East Copley Drive, the Conference
Room, Diamond Bar, California.
ROLL CALL: Community Development Director James DeStefano and
Planning Technician Ann Lungu.
Also present were the property owners Michael and
Dorothea Riley, contractor/ applicant Perry Hanstad,
with Design Rite Construction, and neighbor Stanley
Kojder, residing at 2300 S. Haddock.
OLD BUSINESS: PT/Lungu reported that Administrative Development
Review No. 92-0§ is a request, by Michael and
ADR 92-9 Dorothea Riley, to construct a first and second
story addition of 1,205 sq. ft. to an existing
single family residence located at 23001 Haddock
Dr., Diamond Bar. The public hearing was continued
from the July 13, 1992 so that additional
information could be provided concerning the
CC&R's, and the existing two-story "homes in the
area. It was determined that the CC&R's do exist
for this area. However, the DBIA has indicated
that the CC&R's for the address of the project area
are lost. The World Title Company was then
contacted, and they will be sending a copy of the
CC&R's to the City as soon as possible. The City
does not enforce CC&R's. It was also determined
that the County of Los Angeles approved 2 two story
additions, probably by means of a plot plan review,
for this area. The specific addresses are
indicated in the staff report. Furthermore the
staff report indicates two existing two story homes
which were approved through LA County, probably by
plot plan review as well. Based upon this
information, and the information in the July 13,
1992 staff report, staff recommended that the
Community Devlopment Director approve ADR No. 92-9.
The Public Hearing was declared opened.
Michael Riley, the applicant, presented staff with
a copy of his written rebuttal, and requested that
it be made an attachment to the final report of
finding. He made the following points: staff has
recommended approval of this project; the three
homeowners, who presented that petition, are not
present to voice their objections; the only basis
for that petition is for personal dislike; there
are existing two story homes in the area; and the
City is not responsible for enforcing CC&R's. He
requested that his application be approved for the
reason indicated. He also provided several photos
in support of his application.

The Public -Hearing was declared closed.
DCD/DeStefano stated that he can either approve the
project with conditions, deny the project with
conditions, or send the application to the Planning
Commission. He summarized the following primary
issues regarding the project: it must meet City
code and Development Review criteria; and it must
reflect the prevailing characteristics of the
neighborhood. Though he is interested in the
CC&R's, he indicated that he is not really too
concerned with it since the City does not enforce
CC&R's and that the CC&R's don't preclude 2 story
homes. Noting that no one from the 6 properties,
surrounding the project, and espcially no one who
was protesting the project, was present at either
public hearing, he approved the -project.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 6:40 p.m.
